Let A : the set of first 3 bags B : a set of next 2 bags WB : White ball BB : Black ball Now we can change the problem to two bags, i.e. bag A containing 15 white and 9 black balls(5 white and 3 black in each bag) and bag B containing 4 white and 8 black balls(2 white and 4 black balls in each bag) Probability of selecting bag A is 3 5 (3 bags are in A) and selecting B is 2 5 (2 bags are in B) We want to find the probability of selected white ball is from bag A Conclusion: Therefore, the probability of selected white ball is from the first group is 45 61
